B23-7
No. 4274, originally ATSF 6417, and built December 1985. Here it's
seen at Belen on July 20, 2002. |
 |
B40-8 No. 8604. Painted in the first
Heritage scheme (later known as H1), it is serving as the Longmont, CO
switcher (8/31/2008). Originally ATSF 7414 (built June 1988). |
 |
B40-8 No. 8608,
at Belen on July 20, 2002. Originally ATSF 7418, built June 1988. |
 |
B40-8 No. 8620.
It's leading an eastbound freight into Gallup, NM on 1/26/2002.
Originally ATSF 7430, built April 1989, it was painted in H1 about 10
months prior to this photo. |
 |
B40-8 No. 8639. Painted in the H1 scheme,
it is paired with No. 8604 serving as the Longmont switcher (8/31/2008).
It looks like some kind of spill has faded the sill paint over the rear
truck. Originally ATSF 7449 (built April 1989). |

C44-9W Walkaround (Also referred
to as a DASH 9-44CW) Here are four views of the former AT&SF No.
629, resting at Rincon on 9/07/2009. Still in original paint
fifteen years after delivery (Feb 1994), it has the usual BNSF
modifications: yellow sill stripes (FRA mandated), and "BNSF" lettered
under the cab number.
Note that the air conditioner has been swapped with one from an
orange unit.
These images are fairly large, to better show details. |
 |
No. 630, coming into Flagstaff from the
west on 3/27/2008. Still in original Santa Fe paint, but note the
missing letters on the side. Contrast the "BNSF" reporting marks
with those on No. 629 above. |
 |
 No.
679 rolls southbound through Longmont, CO on 7/31/2010. This
unit was built in August 1994, which makes it 16 years old at time of
photo. Still in original Santa Fe paint and number, it's getting
pretty faded, and carries a swapped air conditioner behind the cab. |
 |
No. 681, at Hot Sulphur Springs, CO on
8/09/2007. The air conditioner has been swapped on this unit.
Built August 1994 for the ATSF, relettered sometime later. |
 |
No. 727, in New Image paint, east of
Flagstaff on 3/27/2008. Note the six steps up to the pilot deck.
The earlier versions delivered to the Santa Fe had only five. |
 |
No. 744, at Coal Creek canyon, CO on
12/5/2008. Built August 1997 (two years after formation of BNSF, and
yet delivered in the Warbonnet scheme). |
 |
No. 1010, tied up at Rincon, NM on 5/09/2010. Still in H1 paint, this
unit was built in September 1996 (Not October 1996 as some sources
state) and was one of the earlier units delivered in the orange H1
scheme. Bottom: a nose-on portrait.
Here is the builder's
plate on this locomotive. I saw this same unit in the same place
in July, but the photos were redundant so I didn't add anything. |
 |
Partial portrait of No. 1078, at Denver
on 7/29/2007. This photo demonstrates a variant of the H1 scheme.
This series of Dash-9's had silver trucks and tanks (see
here for another
example). Contrast to the EMD H1 units below and the B40-8's
above, which have green trucks and tanks. |
 |
No. 4334, tied up at Rincon, NM on 3/07/2010. The 4334 was built in
February 1999, part of an order of 400 such units delivered between
January 1999 and April 2000. |
 |
No. 4374, tied up at Rincon, NM on
12/13/2009-- right in the shadow of the silo, unfortunately. The 4374 was built in March 1999. |
 |
Two
views of No. 4388, parked at Rincon on 12/13/2009.
This unit arrived in April 1999. Here
is the builder's plate and emissions data.
(I'm really getting to like Rincon as a place to get roster
shots-- it's right off the highway, accessible, and quiet.) |
 |
No. 4402, running as a DPU on the Moffat on 3/28/2002. Here is a
nice shot of the back end. Though backlit, I've managed to adjust
the light so it's more visible. You can see the herald on the end,
which on the H1 scheme had been on the nose instead. |
 |
No. 4412, in the siding at Sulphur, CO on
8/09/2007. Built April 1999. |
 |
No. 4621, in a howling ground blizzard at Rollinsville, CO on 12/5/2008. Built Jan 2000. |
 |
No. 4745, near Flagstaff on 3/27/2008.
Built April 1998, first of a batch of 255 units delivered between then
and the following January. |
 |
No. 4778, tied up at Rincon, NM on 3/07/2010. The 4334 was built in
June 1998. |
 |
No. 4847, two views:
TOP Shoving on the rear of a westbound freight at Coal Creek
Canyon, CO.BOTTOM Same train, approaching Pinecliffe, CO on
12/5/2008.
Built August 1998. |
 |
No. 4928, near Flagstaff on 3/27/2008.
Built October 1998. |
 |
No. 5173, running third at Rollinsville,
CO on 12/05/2008. Built November 2003, which accounts for the
good-looking paint. |
 |
No. 5213, northbound in Las Cruces with
No. 4595. The 5213 was built September 2003, the 4595 in November
1999. |
 |
No.
5260 leads a southbound freight across 3rd Ave. in Longmont, CO on
7/31/2010. Built April 2002 and not particularly faded in this
shot. |
 |
No. 5264, coming into Flagstaff on
3/27/2008. Built April 2002. |
 |
Nos.
5319 and 5123 have been serviced at the Belen fuel rack and
are ready to go back on the road. |
 |
No. 5396, east of Pinecliffe, CO on
12/5/2008. Built October 2000, and is one of the badly-faded units
seen from time to time. The color is more salmon than orange! |
 |
No. 5446 leads an eastbound out of Byers
Canyon, CO on 8/09/2007. |
 |
No.
5448, at west Gallup on 1/26/2002. In this shot it was being moved
around the yard by itself; I never did see why. (Pardon the
traffic light in the image...) We liked it because it matched our
phone number at the time! |

No. 6209 at Denver, 7/29/2007. |
 |
Four views of No. 7479 at
Rincon, 9/07/2009. This unit was evidently built in 2009, although I
haven't located specific data yet. It certainly looks new.
Note the ladder access to the roof from the top of the walkway box on
the conductor's side. There are at least two variations of these
units and the ladders are located differently on each. These images are fairly large, to better show details. |
 |
No. 7573 at Sulphur, CO on 8/09/2007.
This unit was built in 2007. |
 |
No. 7581, leaving Belen, NM with a stack train on 5/09/2010. This
is one of the dirtier BNSF units I've photographed. Built in 2007. |
 |
No. 7656 at Sulphur, CO on 8/09/2007.
It was delivered in January 2005, and thus barely missed being painted
in the Wedge scheme. It has ladders on the end of the long hood,
on the middle left, and also forward behind the cab. |
 |
No. 7672 at Rincon, NM on 7/11//2010. Built in January 2005, it's
slightly faded, though not as bad as some of these units.
Here is the builder's plate. |
 |
No.
7684 is the trailing unit (of three) on a southbound freight at
Longmont on 7/31/2010. Note the H2 paint scheme. Built
February 2005. Note that the engineer's side of these units has no
ladders. |
 |
No. 7678 at Rincon, NM on 11/04/2007.
Part of the same batch as the units above, new in January or February
2005. |
 |
No. 7797 at Rincon, NM on 5/09//2010. Built in July 2005, it's
already fading to a salmon hue.
Here is the builder's plate. |
 |
No. 7836, leaving Belen, NM with a stack train on 5/09/2010. Obviously a
recent delivery, but at the present I am unable to find any details on
the web. |

No. 6049 leads a northbound coal empty through Longmont on 8/01/2010.
I don't see many of these in my normal haunts, but they are a numerous class on the BNSF
nonetheless.
It was built in July or August of 2006. |
